Chelsea have been warned against signing West Ham midfielder Declan Rice due to West Ham demanding between £100-£120million for the midfielder.

Arsenal legend Gilberto, speaking in association with Best One Casino Site, told GOAL: “Normally you see this sort of price for strikers, not central midfielders.

“It feels quite high, even though there is no doubting the quality of the player, but it does feel like a very high price. When you compare him to other players who play in a similar position and have moved for big money, he offers a different perception and the price is totally different. Ultimately, it will all depend on the needs of the market.”
